HAPPY THANKSGIVING..........Here is a recipe I thought you would like for the holidays!

Ingredients:1 whole chicken or turkey1 large lemon, cut into halvessprig of rosemarysalt and pepper to tastebutter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

Heat oven to 350 degreesRub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken/turkey until it is completely coated.Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you prefer.Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat;

Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up, one oneach side. This way the juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.Place sprig of rosemary into the chicken/turkey.Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continueto roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes.

If you've followed these steps correctly, your chicken/turkey shouldlook like the one in the picture.

I guess if you'd had lemon implants without anaesthetic you'd have a similar look on your face too :o))))Sounds delicious - must try it sometime - can't imagine what my husband's face would be like when I brought it to the table though
